I was looking at that whole southern area of NS and it looked pretty interesting. 2 days there, a few days riding around and 2 days back could make for a fun trip. Thanks!

I work very hard for my money, so I prefer to spend it wisely.

The last little bit around Natashquan was surprisingly hilly and twisty with flawless pavement. Overall I thought it was a remarkable ride out that way.

There's an empanada place next door? hmmm i love empanadas

I’m in - will be nice out by the time we are heading there.

Thanks - did most of that 2 years ago except the ferry south from Baie Comeau. I loved going to the end of the 138 and up to Manic Cinq. That was a dream bike trip for about 15 years and it didn’t disappoint. Maybe some whale watching boat tours would be pretty cool.

I do love that stuff, but I suck at gravel and tend to drop my bikes fairly often, so at least for the next couple years I’m doing the street bike thing. I’ll buy a t7 or something like that down the road:)

Have roughly a week to ride somewhere at the end of August and undecided where to go. Scenic and hopefully twisty roads are part of the plan. Camping or motels - I'm fine with both. Not looking for much gravel, and a distance of anywhere between 4000-7000km is doable. Thought about James Bay...

Nice trip - and sorry to hear about the tire. That's a sweet collection of bikes too. And I know I've missed the turn off at 508 once or twice and ended up on that dirt road too - it comes up quick if you're not paying attention. Oh and I think a portion of 16/South Lavant Rd is still under...

Awesome - never heard of it before so will check it out.

I've been using it for years and prior to that was using it's predecessor Tyre. Here's a thread I posted on it a few years back and let me know if you have any specific questions. https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/route-planning-for-gps-myrouteapp.216187/

Their premier membership will do up to 320km for one tow. I've had this membership for years and used it a few times! https://www.caasco.com/membership/compare-memberships

I rode a bike with very warped front rotors for full season - just used engine braking and the rear brake. If the issue is just the front brakes, I can ride it back for you. Otherwise CAA will do a 320km tow I think.

For real. It used to be that 1/2 the forum wanted a Vstrom, but ship has sailed:)

Today on my way into work, a guy pulled up beside me riding one of these. I took a good look at it for the first time and it's a really nice bike. There's very few newer bikes that interest me, but I think I would buy one of these.

Let me know if that 6 is good and maybe that's a nice change to get to Northey's then. Have a good ride!

Weird - did you change that link name or did it pop up spelled incorrectly like that from the website? I've been using the HHS 2000 for 20 years or so too, but the one thing I couldn't stand about it is how much fling there was with it. It's great that it's so thin, but that comes at a cost of...

If you are referring to the 1st route below, then no I haven't - looks pretty good though with some fast sweepers. I usually hit Northey's Bay from the east along the 2nd route below, by taking the 44/47.

I was just up that way on Friday and rode along most of the best roads up towards Barry’s Bay, so just ask if you want to know any other road conditions. Most were in amazing shape. This is the route from Friday:

Looks identical to mine, but I also have the compressed air option to lift. Mine is rated for 1000lbs. I recall the 800lb lifts at PA were slightly narrower and shorter, which yours does not look like.
